Eli's 1st Birthday Party

Today, Suri and I went to Eli's FIRST birthday party at Cole Park in Tempe. Suri was so excited to be able to spend time outside and she LOVES, LOVES, LOVES to play at the park. It was great to see Eli and his mommy Cassie again.
Suri met a new friend at Eli's party. Emma Grace is Kari's little girl and she and Suri had fun playing in the grass together. Emma and Suri were exchanging coconuts (AKA: Pine cones!) it was so cute to hear Emma ask Suri to share her coconuts! The innocence of children... priceless!

Birthday Boy Eli

Suri opened her party favor a bit early. She LOVES Slinky's : )

And loves to tangle them up!

Untangling Slinkys is hard work!

Thanks for a fun day Eli! Happy FIRST Birthday!
